Biggest Movers: Crypto

XRP

XRP, formerly ripple, was a notable gainer on Tuesday, as the token continued to move away from a recent support point.

Following a low of $0.3648 to start the week, XRP/USD rose to an intraday high of $0.3751 earlier in the day.

The move resulted in XRP bouncing from a long-term price floor at $0.3650, following a recent four-day losing streak.

From the chart, it appears that this took place as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) broke out of its own ceiling at 43.00.

“Cracking the Case of a Virtual Murder: A Review of LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND MURDER”

In LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND MURDER, the second book in the Larkin Day Mystery Series, amateur detective Larkin Day takes on a case that challenges her understanding of what it means to be murdered. Set in Pratincola, Iowa, Larkin sets her sights on solving crimes and becoming a successful private investigator. However, her latest case presents a unique challenge when fitness instructor Bonnie Cooper comes to her, claiming that she has been murdered – virtually.

The murder mystery that unfolds is not only highly entertaining, but also hilarious at times. Nicole Dieker’s writing style is charming and captures the reader’s attention, bringing to life the relatable and lovable characters of the story. The novel also touches on themes of technology and social media obsession, showcasing the impact it has on our daily lives.

Throughout the book, Larkin struggles to balance her romantic relationship with her “maybe-sorta boyfriend” Ed Jackson, her career as an amateur detective, and the mystery of who is trying to force her mother out of her job. Dieker expertly weaves these storylines together, making for a well-rounded and enjoyable read.

One of the standout elements of LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND MURDER is its commentary on the obsession with technology and social media. The book takes a humorous approach to this topic, showcasing the absurdity of our obsession with “likes” and online exposure. It raises questions about the value we place on our virtual, online lives and the impact it has on our real-life relationships.

In conclusion, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND MURDER is a well-written and thoroughly enjoyable mystery novel. Dieker’s writing style, humor, and relatable characters make it a must-read for fans of the mystery genre. It’s the perfect book for a lazy weekend or a cozy night in, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good mystery to sink their teeth into.
